Object's angular altitude in upper culmination ============================================== In observational astronomy, culmination is the passage of a celestial object across the observer's local meridian. An object's angular altitude in degrees at its upper culmination is equal to 90 minus the observer's latitude plus the object's declination. **Conditions:** #. The object is at its upper culmination. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.astronomy.objects_angular_altitude_in_upper_culmination .. py:data:: altitude :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.astronomy.altitude` of the object.
